Light Brown Melbourne Derby Walking Cane with Dark Brown Handle

The Light Brown Melbourne Derby Walking Cane with Dark Brown Handle is a very traditional everyday walking stick that offers reliable support when walking or standing. What makes it truly stand out from the crowd, however, is its eye-catching colour contrast between the dark brown handle and light brown shaft. The elegant look is completed with a metal collar and a black rubber ferrule, making this Derby Cane ideal for many occasions, whether in town or country.

If you love the contrast, but would prefer to see it reversed, check out our Dark Brown Melbourne Derby Walking Cane with Light Brown Handle.

Perfect for Everyday Use

Only certain canes can be classified as suitable for everyday use. They need to be low-key, highly functional, reliable and comfortable all at once, and while everyday sticks come in all colours and sizes, the most commonly seen handles are still the Crook and the Derby.

The Melbourne Derby

Reputedly the invention of an earlier Lord Derby, who wanted a supportive walking stick that he could also hook over his arm, this style provides excellent support and can be held in either hand. The user’s weight is carried directly over the shaft and the hand is perfectly supported, so it can neither slip forward nor back. The Melbourne handle is a variation of the standard one with just a slightly rounder shape.

Beech Wood

Beech is typically a pale cream colour, sometimes with a pink or brown hue. Hard and tough, this type of wood has good strength properties and high abrasion resistance, which makes it the perfect material for making resilient and reliable walking sticks.

Sizing of the Light Brown Melbourne Derby Walking Cane

The approximate height of this cane is 92cm (36"). Due to the natural sourcing and manufacturing process, however, the length may vary slightly from product to product.
